Hi,

also should add some notes about possible mpg vs. mp3 missdetection.
as mplayer is movie player, it prefers mpg to mp3 in (not so) rare cases
when it cannot decide the format, and it may results in broken playback
or nothing. sorry, we cannot support all mp3s, without dropping the
support for broken mpeg video files.

users must accept this, and use force demuxer option (-demuxer ?) in
these cases.
